New Moon Meditation Meeting, September 2023, New York

The new moon period is a time of pause wherein together we can establish a soul-mind-brain alignment. During this period we work in thought to concretize the ideas and impressions received at the time of the full moon period and undertake the sometimes difficult process of translating them into practical plans that can be of service in the world. More information about meditating at the time of the new and full moons can be found on our website at www.lucistrust.org/fullmoon. To Free the Prisoners of the Planet New Moon in September This meeting will focus on one of the primary tasks of the New Group of World Servers which is “to free the prisoners of the planet.” We will address humanity’s role as a redemptive agent within the planetary Life, a redeemer not only of our fellow human beings but also of those lives which constitute the animal and vegetable kingdoms. Humanity’s destiny stems from the fact that it is only through humanity that spirit and matter meet, giving birth to the soul. To fulfill this destiny humanity is tasked with unfolding the intuition and the consequent achieving of illumination. Then humanity will fulfill its destined task of reaching both inwards to the source of light and outwards into the "fields of darkness". As forerunners in this work, setting our spiritual intention to serve within our environment provides the means whereby we can play our part in freeing the prisoners. Questions for reflection and discussion: Please share your understanding of this task of the new group of world servers to “free the prisoners of the planet.” What steps are you taking in your daily life and service to contribute to this effort? It’s said that humanity is charged with developing group consciousness in order to fulfill its destiny. What is your understanding of this term? It’s said that service when carried forward effectively often works to clear out old forms in order to make way for the new. Please comment on this in light of present day affairs.
